Beware of shw.jvapxdus.com fake Java updates

The website shw.jvapxdus.com, with quite a long random continuation after .com part, is actively used by many people engaged in distribution of adware, browser hijackers and other potentially unwanted programs. So, the main purpose of this article is to warn our readers about the danger of such shw.jvapxdus.com pop-up windows in your browser. Most probably if you’ve seen such a pop-up window in your PC this is a sign of your computer and your browser already infected with adware. In this guide we will help you to remove it affectively and to understand how to prevent your still clean computer from being infected with such unwanted applications.

Here is the example of how shw.jvapxdus.com pop-up window looks like in Internet Explorer browser and what this misleading message mentions when it pops up in a particular PC:

Message from webpage
It is recommended that you update Java to the latest version to view this page. Please update to continue.

In reality, such pop-up message could appear not only in Internet Explorer, but also in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and possibly in some other browsers as well. However, this is 100% misleading information which you must never trust or treat as some legitimate Java update. Had this been some decent (authorized) update, then it would be initiated from Oracle websites, with the executable file being digitally signed. This isn’t the case when you install some doubtful software from shw.jvapxdus.com resource.

Well, what do you then install when you mistakenly agree to install this fake Java update? The sad truth is that if you agree to such a misleading proposal, you will end up installing a lot of other adware, browser hijackers, potentially unwanted programs and other junkware into your computer. We strongly recommend that you are very careful when you see such strange pop-up windows as described and depicted above. Do not trust them and do not do what they tell you to do. Instead, please shut down all such suspicious pop-up windows, install our recommended anti-malware software and scan your PC with it, removing all infections detected by it. Finally, please share this information with your friends and colleagues to help them avoid being scammed so brutally by such misleading shw.jvapxdus.com pop-ups.
